Lunch Trucks May Return

DIGEST

Drivers stopped work earlier this month to protest the banishment of lunch trucks from the cab holding lot at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Airport officials said the trucks lured too many drivers to the lot, making it unacceptably crowded.

Drivers also were upset about filthy bathrooms and a lack of drinking water.

On Monday, Yellow Cab representatives and airport officials met.

The result: The airport will let lunch trucks return after officials work out a way to ensure the trucks are licensed. The airport also will keep bathrooms clean and install a water cooler if feasible, airport spokesman Jim Reynolds said.

The cab company will keep the lot clean and provide drivers with flight schedules to discourage them from gathering during a lull in activity, Yellow Cab general manager David Kramer said.
